Ah, the eagerly anticipated movie about out four favourite gals has finally been released! yes, I do realise that this has happened some time ago, but as a recent viewer, for me, it's still a fresh and wonderful addition to my memory.
Ah, to see Carrie and co. on the big screen, to revel in their wonderful array of clothing, shoes and jewellery...it was NOT a disappointing effort. Patricia Field, as always, has pulled of an amazing look for every single character, managing to perfectly portray their unique personalities through a stylishly cut blouse, kneww high socks and even shoulder pads.
Carrie, per usual, looked fantastic for most of the movie, her hair always perfectly messy and her eclectic style matcthing her toned figure. The standout for me was, of course, the wedding photo shoot for Vogue, my arms erupting into goosbumps at the sight of Vivienne Westwoods absolutely stunning, eggshell white wedding gown , worn by Carrie. In terms of the story line, Carrie's role was hard done by. It was primarily her scenes which made me shed a tear or two, as her adventures and troubles with Mr. Big were not, as we all hoped, over.
Charlotte looked as sweet as girly as we remember, often donning cute little sun dresses, cinched in at the waist and flowing over her hips and thighs, her long, glossy hair pulled back into chic styles. Like her clothes, Charlotte's life was literally perfect. I was a little disappointed, to be honest, with how easily everything came to her character. But then again, why complain about a happy ending?
Samantha, although as crass and fabulous as usual, was impressive with her loyalty. Although she had revealed a hidden depth in the series, it was in the movie that we really saw the softk, wonderfully honest person that lies underneath the sex fiend we have all come to love. In a way, she is the most refreshing character out of the four: her sense of humour, unjudgemental nature and loyal streak make her a fantastic person to watch.
Although I've always known that Miranda was a little cold and very cynical, the extent of her cold nature really surprised me in the movie. After Steve's betrayal, she is simply shown as moving on with her life, not really grieving or hurting. This is made espeically evident when contrasted with Carrie, who pines and mourns her relationship with Big for a good half of the movie.
This is just a very short summery of my thoughts of the movie, byt overall, it was seriously a wonderful experience. I loved the ending; but then again, I'm the and-evryonep-lived-happily-ev er-after kinda person. Asd cliched as it may have seemed to many, it was a great way to finish a series which, really, is based nealry wholly on love.
